Service Offering Scenario B—Connecting Multiple Sites
In certain cases, customers prefer to have primary and secondary sites connected by optical networks
such as DWDM or SONET/SDH for high density and reliability. However, because of disaster recovery
requirements, corporations might need a third site to protect all their business needs in case of a disaster.
FCIP is preferred to connect the secondary site to the third site as shown in Figure 4-7.
